section
"12 IANA considerations
12.1 text/html"
suggests: "This registration is for community review and will be submitted to
...registration with IANA." I understand from this that it it intended to
replace RFC 2854.
If so I have a problem with the statement later in the same section:
"Published specification:
This document is the relevant specification. Labeling a resource with the
text/html type asserts that the resource is an HTML document using the HTML
syntax."
It seems that the definition says that all html documents currently on the web
are HTML5 documents. This is clearly not the situation. the registration of
text/html media type should recognize that there are many versions of HTML
used on the web, as RFC 2854 does.
